I know it's been a little more than month since I last posted. I have been really busy of late with grad school applications, work, family and the holidays, but I'm finally here again. Today's post is a work I completed about a month ago. This piece took about three months to create. It's been impossible to document due to the clearing process. Just another reason I haven't added this work to my blog. I think I finally have some decent pictures to post and progress shots as well. I may add more photos later but these will do for now.
This work is based from a photo I took about two years ago of my grandparents outside on their front porch as we painted their house. It's one of my favorite photographs. Every time I saw them, they were never apart. That's just how it was, Mama and Daddy(it's what they called each other) always together. The only time they were ever apart was the 8 months between their passing. It was hard to lose them so close together, but I think it was more difficult to see my grandma so down. I know they are happy together again. I am very grateful to have had such incredible, sweet, loving, and humble people in life. Miss you everyday.
Now you know a little about the photograph, we go on to process.
The beginning starts with making acrylic sheets, and ink transfers. I adhere the transfers to medium sheet once they are dry. After removing excess paper, I cut the sheet down to quarter inch squares, make a grid on paper to help with the placement of the squares, and start building the layer.
Next step is adding color to other layers
Details within layers
Starting to adhere layers together
Drying is never ending
